Why Choose Uniconnect Over Microsoft Dynamics 365?
Technology & Vendor Independence
Keep your multi-vendor stack intact. Don’t get forced into rewriting your ecosystem around Azure, Power Platform, and Dataverse.
80%+ Lower Software & Consulting Costs
Avoid paying $95-$150/user/mo Dynamics licenses plus Power Apps capacity fees and expensive Microsoft partner consulting.
Multi-Model AI Choice (Google Gemini + OpenAI)
Dynamics locks you into Microsoft Copilot Studio and Azure OpenAI. Uniconnect lets you deploy Gemini 1.5, Claude, or local LLMs.
Retain Existing Systems as Systems of Record
Dynamics encourages migrating enterprise databases into Dataverse. Uniconnect leaves your systems in place and bridges them dynamically.
Open PBX & Telephony Independence
Connect directly to any open standard PBX or SIP trunk without paying Microsoft Teams Phone and Dynamics Contact Center add-ons.
Focused Agility vs Enterprise Bloat
Deploy features in hours with a clean modern UI rather than navigating complex Power Apps administration and security hierarchies.

Implementation Overhead
Months of Dataverse entity modeling and specialized Microsoft partner consultants.

Telephony & PBX

Heterogeneous Multi-Vendor Supply Chain Customer 360
A distributor uses Oracle ERP for inventory, PostgreSQL for orders, and an on-premise PBX. Dynamics required migrating data into Dataverse.
Uniconnect unified Oracle and PostgreSQL data via live API connectors, giving agents a 360 view and AI order lookup without moving data or buying Power Platform capacity.
When might Microsoft Dynamics 365 be the right fit?
We believe in honest evaluation. Microsoft Dynamics 365 may be suitable if:
- Your enterprise is already 100% committed to Microsoft E5 licenses, Power BI, Azure AD, and Power Platform.
- You are already running Microsoft Dynamics AX/Finance & Operations ERP as your primary financial backbone.
- Your IT governance policy mandates single-vendor contracting with Microsoft.
